When you get a flight from London Airports (LON) you’ll find they are all modern and offer great facilities. If you’re looking for the airport with the most to offer, you should go to Heathrow Airport (LHR) as it is the largest of all the airports.

For example, Gatwick Airport (LGW) is ideal for those who live on the south coast, Stansted Airport (STN) is great for people in East Anglia and Luton Airport (LTN) is good for those north of London or in the Midlands.
